I'm actually surprised GTA IV is still number one, I predicted COD4 would regain the 1 spot.

I'm still playing GTA IV everyday because I love the story, but I play COD4 more just so I can get my multi player cravings under control.

I'm impressed, but I still think COD4 will eventually get the number 1 spot back.

Maybe we where wrong.

Can we get more than 10 games? I'm curious to see how much 11+ changes since the 10th spot always changes once something new comes out.

Once again.. Halo 3 sucks.. and continues to stay at number 3. Looks like they all went back to play their Halo 2.

The thing about the stats here though is that GTA can remain top purely based on loads of people going on it for 30 mins or so a day.  For example if I go on GTA for 30 mins then Burnout Paradise for 4 hours - they both are just 1 hit for each game.  So the stats do not really represent as much as you might think.  

I'm sure COD4 is still clocking far more total hours but GTA is clocking more users, albeit not necessarily for long periods as anyone who played the game to death will have finished it ages ago.

Myself, I am playing GTA fairly slowly and as such keeping it up there at number one.  Although I have to admit, just exploring the game without even doing missions eats a lot of time in itself.  I haven't even opened the third island yet.

Conker still up there on Xbox, aww.  Which reminds me, again PLEASE can you fix Conker PAL so that it works on the VGA cable on 360?  I know the PAL game code itself supports it as I have seen it work on a PAL console switched to NTSC mode (to enable the progressive scan support disabled in PAL mode).

In fact, very few PAL games failed to work in NTSC progressive scan mode.  There seems to be a LOT more that fail on the 360 than ever did on the Xbox itself.  Its quite disappointing as its obviously a "switch to progressive scan" flag that is missing in the backwards compatibility code resulting in the games dropping to PAL instead. :-(

It is this lack of proper support for VGA on PAL games [that originally supported it albeit unofficially] that is stopping me buying Xbox Originals.  The backwards compatibility list needs to at LEAST list if a game works on VGA or not.

GTA4 may well top the charts for the next couple of weeks (while people finish the SP) but i can't see it staying up there after that.

My FL has gone from 40 people online playing GTA (and one diehard H3 fan) to 3 or 4 playing GTA and the rest playing a variety of titles, mostly CoD4 again (apart from one die hard H3 fan :D )

Anon 2.. whats your problem?

It was only a few weeks ago where Halo was considered "bad" for being at number 2.. now CoD4 is at 2.. does that make CoD4 bad also?
